The Confederate Monument in Portsmouth, Virginia, was built between 1876 and 1881. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1997.[1]
The monument is a 35-foot obelisk of North Carolina granite. It is located at the town square of Portsmouth, on Court Street at the corner of High Street. Also facing on the town square are the Trinity Episcopal Church dating from 1828 and the Portsmouth Courthouse dating from 1846, which are also NRHP-listed.[1][3]…

The four cast white bronze figures that surround the obelisk, including their heads and facial features, are largely generic.[4]:536–537 The sailor figure, for example, also appears outside the G.A.R. Memorial Hall in Wabash, Indiana.

#7: "Who was it a statue of?"

I've passed by that statue many times and I believe it is a statue of a "generic' confederate veteran. Downtown Portsmouth is very charming. But the surrounding area is a jungle full of wild eyed tribesman.
